This year the Senate's on pace to work fewest days in 60 years. -News Item. Mitch McConnell inscribes "Abandon all hope of governing ye who enter here" on the Capitol Building.
Just wait for the right to complain about Obama, who worked more than W did. This is what you get when you vote AGAINST and not FOR something. You get obstruction, you get NO, you get Trump and you get the mess that is the “grand” old party.
Even when they’re in session they don’t actually DO anything, except check to see if any new bribes (I’m sorry, contributions) have come in since the last time they checked……….
The Senate And the House have done Nothing to help the people for the last 8 years.Why come to work if all you are going to do is vote no on almost everything.Wish we all had such cushy jobs.
Keep the republican senate closed, they just want to give all the tax money to the military and their rich friends while shutting down all social programs that return tax money’s to the people.Lyin Ryan is no better than Mitch lies lies lies about jobs jobs jobs Mcconnell.
The Republicans in congress are doing their job. Their intention is to keep everything just as it is, unless they can manage to return to the “good old days” of the 19th century, before there was a middle class and when only the landed gentry were voters. And, they have a great strategy for accomplishing this: 1. Disenfranchise everyone you possibly can, unless they are dependable Republican voters. 2. Produce ads and media emphasis which emphasizes those politicians who are corrupt and incompetent. This undermines the people’s trust in their government and makes them feel like helpless pawns, so they tune out the whole process and accept the status quo. 3. Support the “job creators”, who have managed their affairs so that they are the recipients of a huge portion of the GNP, although that GNP was produced by working people, who are receiving less benefit from it every day. This gives them the money to accomplish the other two goals, and leaves everyone except the “job creators” with increasingly less money to mount a counter campaign. 4. Having supported the “job creators”, expect them to return the favor by financing Republican candidates, since there aren’t enough Middle Class people stupid enough to do it. So, this is the way we are going lose the Middle Class and become a country inhabited only by the very rich 1%, and a 99% who are too busy working two jobs to survive to notice.

Consider this. The less they do the fewer laws they pass to separate the taxpayers from their hard earned money.
